"It's f*cked up and my heart is broken for @itskerii having her lifelong dream stripped away for using a legal substance," Diddy tweeted on Wednesday, July 7. "I'm tired of white people sitting in a room making up decisions that affect our hopes and dreams. They will keep treating our athletes like slaves and entertainment until we shut down on these people. Said from LOVE with love."

Then after many criticized Diddy's post, he responded.

"To be absolutely clear about my previous tweet, the point I'm making is that marijuana has been used against my people since some white people in an office (DEA/FBI) saw it as a way to entrap Black Jazz artists to shut down the movement happening in Harlem," he wrote in part.  "That's the real reason why it started, you can research the history. It started from an evil plot, and now this plot is affecting our future."
